Brainwave Entrainment

Brainwave entrainment or "brainwave synchronization," is any practice that aims to cause
brainwave
frequency to fall into step with a periodic stimulus having a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state (for example, to induce sleep). It depends upon a "frequency following" response, a naturally occurring phenomenon where the human brain has a tendency to change its dominant
EEG frequency towards the frequency of a dominant external stimulus. Such a stimulus may be aural, as in the case of
binaural beats, monaural beats, and isochronic tones, or else visual, as with a
dreamachine, a combination of the two with a
mind machine, or even
electromagnetic radiation.

"I've played with various types of brainwave entrainment tools for years. Some of them have worked amazingly well for me. Some of them had no effect whatsoever. The Brain Evolution System was one of the few that worked amazingly well. I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot."

Overview

Brainwave entrainment with binaural beats is said to help 'synchronize the two hemispheres of the brain', hence the
Hemi-Sync (by Monroe Institute) example product. There is dispute over the efficacy of the practice.

It is also a private case of functional
brain connectivity concept, whereas functional connectivity is defined as the temporal
correlation between spatially-remote neurophysiological events, expressed as deviation from statistical independence (temporal correlation) across these events in distributed neuronal groups and areas, which produce the brainwaves.

"I've used brainwave entrainment programs in the past, but none compare with these brainwave MP3s. Whatever you guys have done, let me tell you, I can feel the magic. I strap on the headphones and rise after each session feeling unstoppable. Great brainwave meditation tool. Talk about competitive edge!"

Binaural beats

Binaural beats deserve special mention because of the manner in which the desired frequencies are obtained. Brainwave entrainment may be achieved when audiosignals are introduced to the brain causing a response directly related to the frequency of the signal introduced, called binaural beats.

Two tones close in frequency generate a beat frequency at the difference of the frequencies, which is generally subsonic. For example, a 500 Hz tone and 510 Hz tone will produce a subsonic 10 Hz tone, roughly in the middle of the alpha range. The resulting subsonic tone may affect the state of mind of the subject. The "carrier frequency" (e.g., the 500 Hz in the example above), is also said by some to affect the quality of the transformative experience.

Note that this effect is achieved without either ear hearing the pulse when headphones are used. Instead, the brain produces the pulse by combining the two tones. Each ear hears only a steady tone. Although some have claimed that these frequencies do provide help in treating certain medical conditions, there is not a wide acceptance by the medical community to adopt the practice of brainwave entrainment for emotional/mental disorders.

The fixed, constant frequency of the synchronization is less helpful than techniques such as classical neurofeedback or learning meditation, also which naturally generate brain wave frequencies that differ from person to person and may vary from minute to minute.
